Sushi Go Round

Sushi Go Round carves out its own niche in the crowded field of customer service oriented time management games by taking customer service out of the equation. You are the chef, rather than the harried waiter, and all that matters is getting food to the patrons of your humble sushi shop in a timely manner. You don't even have to carry the food out to them. You have one of those newfangled automated sushi joints, where a conveyor belt brings the sushi round, and the customers feed themselves.

I have a thought as to why these things might be popular. I think they might be popular amongst two type of people- one is people who never did this kind of work, and find it to be a novelty. Another is people who do this kind of work for a living, but aren't burned out on it yet- they look at it and go WOW, I'll do great in this game, I could do this in my sleep! Those of us that did this kind of service-industry work for a living and are burned out on it, go- UGH!!!! I could do that in my sleep!! Why would I want to relive all that?!?!!

I think it also appeals because it is making order out of chaos. This is soothing/satisfying, in this increasingly chaotic, insane world. I don't do this type of game because I fall into that last category, but when things get too crazy, I do thread crochet. Same concept- making something orderly out of thin string, only it's beautiful, too.

to get round the problem of having someone stuck w/o their food at the end of the belt...

don't collect the plates left over by the previous customers until the food ordered by the person at the end of the line has passed by.
i can't quite explain it clearly, but the point is that no new customers can sit down if the plates aren't cleared. so as long as you wait till the plate of sushi has rolled past before clearing the plate, you won't have the problem of a newcomer 'stealing' the food off the belt before the impatient-with-waiting customer manages to get his/her food :D
i suppose it takes up a bit more time with this method, but at least you don't get angry customers :D

...I remember when I was younger, "Sushi-go-round" was the name of a minigame in one of those N64 Pokemon games. It irritated me because I could never win at it.

Should I be worried that I can still remember that? Fortunately, it won't stop me from trying this one out. Between my love of fun new games and my love of sushi, this looks like something I'd enjoy until it makes me hungry.

A good method that works for me is to *not* collect the plates after a bunch of customers have had their sushi, so I have a row of empty plates, and then I make sure I have one of every kind of sushi on the conveyer belt before I collect the plates. If there are two customers who want the same thing, I just make extras of whatever they want.

I can usually make a decent amount of money this way, since the customers usually get their food at five or four hearts and leave a large tip.

Oh god, at first I thought this game was so annoying! The foods are always out of stock and I kept on making poop. >_
I'm glad I did it the second time, since I started to remember the recipes, and ordered before hand. It was so addicting, but I finally finished the game! I think this will become my daily play. Lol.

Sorry for the belated reply. I see the change has already been made, but I thought I should at least respond.

Sake is more similar to beer than wine in that it's made from a grain rather than a fruit, but in terms of appearance, taste, and alcohol content, it's definitely closer to wine. I think this is why it's traditionally referred to as a wine rather than a beer.

Belle: Here are a few tips I found helpful.
If you order popular things before they run out, you don't have to waste money odering express.
Don't hand out Sake to everyone. I drew the line at 3 points. If they have 4 or 5 they are probably happy enough. I noticed that once a dot starts to quiver, you can give them a sake and it will top them up without losing another.
As other people mentioned, when you are serving to people further down the queue, don't pick up plates until their food has passed.
Remember to prioritise people further down the line over people closer. if you start wrong, you can turn it something else that someone else will pick up at some point.

Awesome review Psychotronic. funny.
I thought the conveyor belts were like not new in Asia? I love this game... I agree with Caya. And I want to work in a Sushi bar. if it's like the game, it would be so cool. I reckon the music helps you concentrate.
And what is the highes level you can get to? Is it 5300Y a day or something else?
are cake mania and papa's pizzeria as good? because i love this kind ofgame.
:D

this is a great and very addictive game. my own addiction is such that whenever i play it, i grimace whenever the little old lady character comes in. if you don't serve her fast, she'll get cranky and change her order; then you end up wasting ingredients. a bit of elder disrespect there.

1) When making sushi, make randomly, dont wait till the customer come in.
2) Pick up the money as soon as possible.
3) Dont give sake until they have only 1 dot left. Wait until the last dot blinks.... it gives you more energy.
4) stop buying ingredients when the time is almost out.
5) Dont use wireless mouse for this game.... it is faster with wired mouse.

This game was a regular faveof mine some months back when I was frequenting Miniclip. All the spoilers and tips that players here have provided are pretty spot on, particularly Cici's.
My tip: the red-headed bearded guys with glasses have much less patience than other customers, so try and get their orders out fo the way first. Also the grannies can be impatient but they can also change their order, which happens regularly, so keep an eye on the old ladies.
Question for Psychotronic (which may not need answering 'cos I'm going to google it shortly anyway: Is Unagi actually 'Eel'? Here I was thinking it was cured beef and imagining a lovely salty flavoured meat, but eel?! Yuk!
Thanks for the update Dr HardCore, I'm going to check that out right after I've googled 'unagi'.
